F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

New book on National Evaluation Policies now available for free downl

EvalPartners, UN Women and IOCE, in partnership with Parliamentarian Forum for Development Evaluation and the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG), are proud to announce the launch of the new book “National evaluation policies for sustainable and equitable development. How to integrate gender equality and social equity in national evaluation policies and systems”, available for free download at http://mymande.org/selected-books

2015 will be a year of global transformation, in which the new Sustainable Development Goals will be launched. Gender equality will be central to ensure the realization of sustainable and equitable development. Evaluation must be equipped to inform the design and implementation of equitable development goals and strategies, both at global and national level. National development policies and programmes should therefore be informed by evidence generated by credible national evaluation systems that are gender-responsive, while ensuring policy coherence at regional and global level.

National Evaluation Policies and Systems can play a strategic role to ensure evaluation is institutionalized in policy-making. This publication is a resource for Parliamentarians, Governments, Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation and Civil Society to ensure that National Evaluation policies and systems are not only developed and implemented but, even more importantly, they are gender-responsive and equity-focused, so that they can meaningfully contribute to achieving sustainable, gender-responsive and equitable development.

Best regards
